  • Title: Custom-made prefabricated titanium miniplates in Le Fort I osteotomies: principles, procedure and clinical insights.
    Author: Philippe B.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2013 Aug; 42(8):1001-6. PubMed ID: 23602483.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes a new type of miniplate system that is designed and custom made during virtual surgery planning based on an individual patient's osteotomy. These miniplates are prefabricated with commercially pure porous titanium using direct metal laser sintering. The principles that guide the conception and production of this new miniplate are presented. The surgical procedure from the stage of virtual surgery planning until the final Le Fort I osteotomy and bone fixation are described using a case example.
